Sea Levels Could Rise By 25 Metres… From Today’s Carbon Dioxide Levels
Posted on 23. Jun, 2009 by Ross.
Forget all those predictions of climate change-fuelled sea level rises of 1-5 feet: research from the UK’s National Oceanographic Centre and the universities of Bristol and Tubingen (Germany) has concluded that sea levels are set to rise by 25m, and that’s before we add a single molecule more of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere!
Such a [...]

How Much Does The World’s Temperature Rise By Per Tonne Of CO2?
Posted on 12. Jun, 2009 by Ross.
According to an article being published today in Nature, researchers have found a definitive and quantitative link between carbon dioxide emissions and global warming, enabling people to calculate how much the average global temperature has increased due to their own actions.
You’ve installed a smart meter to monitor your home energy use. You’ve looked up how [...]
